Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Swift's description is brief: "eeF, S, R, * close n". (His position, by the way, is good, so the identification is secure.) Assuming that the star is the one superposed on the corona, it is south, not north. However, keeping in mind Swift's very large field -- 33 arcmin -- it is just possible that one of the three stars within five arcmin to the northwest is the one Swift mentioned.
